A lot of people say /Magical Mystery Tour/ is a bad movie.

[LoZoccolo]

This includes Beatles fans as well. But seldom do you ever hear why. I think in some cases it might have something to do with the fact that in one of the last scenes, the men and women who are on the Magical Mystery Tour are separated and the men go to see a burlesque show and see a stripper take her top off. After the show you get to see the Beatles looking like men sometimes do when they just saw a stripper, which is kind-of embarassing, especially the look that you see on George Harrison's face.

Oasis never appears in a movie which includes a scene like that.

Score one for Oasis.

1. I've seen it; it's pretty ungood.

They look uncomfortable lipsynching all their songs, and the dialogue scenes are so poorly recorded, it sounds like Charlie Brown's parents are reading the lines.

But there's a decent five-ten minutes of goofy psychedelia in there, and fer crissakes, it's the Beatles, fer crissakes!

2. The Beatles never spat at the audience either

Score one for the Beatles.

5. The Beatles used to eat chicken onstage.

This is before they were big, but their manager or something had to clean them up and have them stop doing that.

Score one for Oasis for an onstage antics tie.

3. Or the Bay City Rollers

Score one for Bay the City Rollers.

11. Indeed score one for the Bay City Rollers.

There was fan hysteria when the Bay City Rollers came out that was reminiscent of that which the Beatles brought about. I would put the Bay City Rollers below the Beatles, but only very slightly below. I would also put Sid and Marty Krofft's show The Krofft Supershow which featured the Bay City Rollers above the Beatles cartoon.

4. The Beatles only sucked OCCASIONALLY.

Score one for the Beatles. ;)

7. Hey Al: Where were YOU while we were getting high?

8. Talking to girls.

9. You weren't slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball?

[Magrittes Pipe]

10. No.

I was learning the art of love.

12. Oh....From your uncle, like I did?

[Magrittes Pipe]

13. Nah... it was your mom.

She kept crying about her hippy Deadhead son, saying she would "never be a grandmother."

She was lonely, Koolzip. I gave her comfort. Is that so wrong?

[RandomKoolzip]

14. Well, she DOES "get around."

While she was crying about her hippy Deadhead son, *I* was out porking your sister. I was unaware of what my brother was doing at the time.

Anyways, it's water under the bridge. I'm hitting "alert."

6. In my opinion

Just the "Walrus" romp is worth watching the film.

15. If you think of it as a long music video

not a "movie," it's fine, I think.

[stinkeefresh]

16. Because they weren't that into it, and it shows.

Personally, I can hear them start to break up on Sgt. Peppers, but by Magical Mystery Tour they're clearly in descent. Not that they aren't continuing to make brilliant music, but they are becoming less and less of a band.

The movie sems like something Paul is really into, and the others just aren't. That's a hard thing to watch, especially if you love them, like I do.

17. It has some interesting visuals,

the "I Am The Walrus" and "Blue Jay Way" sequences being particularly interesting. And the "Your Mother Should Know" ending is rather charming.

But - when you've made A Hard Day's Night and Help!, something like Magical Mystery Tour is pretty much bound to be a disappointment.

18. Kick.
